Dear Unknown Family

Something unusual occurred this weekend.

In the little time we have on this earth, in preparation for our eternal home, with our heavenly Father...

Family, is everything.For those who don't have it, they know the hole it can leave in your heart and life. But, those of us who do, we simply must treasure the rare moments when we all have the privilege to be together.

It's harder when every family member lives in the same area, because we take it for granted. And perhaps, that's the situation behind this unusual circumstance. It was a missed window, gone forever, and I wanted to reach out to help each of us to understand how very fragile life is. It's my hope we will learn to treasure the golden moments - especially when family is gathered, together.
